DIY Chalkboard Pot (and giveaway!)

{this is a sponsored post}I love a simple and fun DIY craft project – and this is a perfect one for spring! I recently made a chalkboard pot that fits perfectly with my outdoor space. And I’m here to show you how I made it – you can do this!

tutorial here we come…

I was sent some fun supplies from Westlake Hardware, and then I headed to their store to purchase a plant and potting mix – –

it was so inviting!!

So first thing, I used the Chalkboard Spraypaint to cover the pot. I did this in two coats – be sure to let the pot dry completely between coats. (Trevor loves when I spray paint the grass 🙂 )

Let that dry as long as the instructions on the can say – I think it’s 48 hours. I added some extra interest to my pot with some turquoise dots to match the colors on my porch. Then you’re ready to “season” your chalkboard – it’s like priming it for chalk. You just rub chalk all over the surface, then wipe it off.

That’s it! I find that to get a nice bright chalk it helps to wet the surface then draw the words on. (you can set another example of that on my chalkboard dresser.) So this was just with a regular ole piece of chalk, not a chalk marker or anything.

I’ve got a $15 giftcard to Westlake Hardware if you’d like to make your own Chalkboard Pot. (They are based in the midwest so you’ll want to be sure you’re able to get to a store to use your gift certificate if you win). To enter, just leave a comment on this post – that’s it! Good luck – giveaway ends Friday, May 17th, 2013, noon central time.
